    Looking pretty glum up this way. Friday is 90% chance of snow with 1 - 3 inches. Friday night 100% chance of junk. Saturday is 70% a.m. rain/snow. Saturday night clearing late with the temps a balmy 29*. If this report holds true through the weekend I'll have to pass. I don't mind dressing in layers trying to keep warm, but I don't want to look like the Michelin Man either. My initial plan was to ride down Saturday and grab a room in Matamoras. Then meet with you guys on 4/2. I like to allow 6 - 7 hours from NH to there. Since my operation hopefully my bathroom breaks will be fewer. Hopefully the forecast will change.

    My forecast looks better than that. Rain Friday and Saturday and so far Sunday is hanging at 53 and some clouds. No snow. It's gonna be cold to start. I'm so hopped on a ride that as of now I'm planning on it. I totally understand your position. If my end gets worse, I'll be out too.

    I can not make Sunday's ride, my plans got interrupted by the medical field. Hope to be up and running soon. Enjoy the ride, post some pics of what I'm missing.

    Well, it's a straight shot for me! It's on Bob to confirm. My weather is holding at mid 50's, sun, clouds. It's going to rain as late as Saturday afternoon. Just hope for dry roads by morning. Hope a few guys can make it. I don't want to be alone with Bob Penn! I'm in as of now. Thanks Jeff, catch you on the next one.

    I'm still in.

    Wayne, let me know when your passing thru Danbury ( I think last time was 8:30 maybe? ) . We can meet at the gas station off exit #8 of I84 again. If I remember you will have 170 miles or so and need fuel to make PA anyway.

    This mornings forecast is showing rain on Friday ending early on Saturday morning. Temps. in the mid 50's. There's a good chance, Sunny will be here on Sunday, with temps in the mid 50's by afternoon. Monday looks perfect, sunny with temps in the 60's. That's scary, sunny maybe sticking around until Monday. Is there a break down in the future?

    Excuse me I have to go check out my bike. I want to be sure I can out run the rain. I especially don't want to be alone with him. I hear he's into dirty bike riding leading to wet unnatural perverted rides. My bike doesn't run that way she's only into clean dry normal rides! :-)

    So maybe we should all check back in on Friday for a final decision.

    PS How does the 9th look for either an alternative date or possibly a second ride? Easter is the 16 so the next realistic date would be the 23.

    I'd love to switch to Monday, but short notice for work and quite frankly, Sunday looks better here. Monday would be a colder day. Let me know. I'm doing oil and gear oil change beforehand either way...I'll be ready.

    I'd love to...8:30 will be tight. I need to leave at 5:30...you're 3 hours away. I hope the roads will be dry. I could book it and not hold you up.

    8:30 - 9:00 what ever time you can get there is fine. Won't leave without you.

    We met there before but just to confirm
    Interstate 84 Exit #8 in Danbury. At the end of the ramp you will see a Mobil and right next to it a Global. The Global has inside seating and a coffee shop so I will wait at the Global.
    From there it is 80 miles to the PA line (about 1 hr 20 min.)

    203-733-five five eight eight ... if anything comes up.

    I hope it's nothing serious Jeff, and your back at it quickly.
